Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][A][D]
Well,
I hear that train a -comin',
comin' round the bend
Ain't seein' the sunshine
since I don't know when
But I'm [G]stuck in Folsom Prison,
and time's draggin' [D]on
And that [A]train keeps a -rollin' on
down New [D]Seven
When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy,
[A]don't eve[D]r play with guns
But I [G]shot a man in Reno
just to watch him [D]die
And when I [A]hear that lonesome whistle
So I hang my head and
[D]cry[G][D]
[A][D]
While I bet these rich folks
eatin' in a fancy dining car
Bet they're drinkin' coffee
and smokin' [A]big ci[D]gars
Well, I [G]know I had it comin',
but no, I can't be [D]free
And those [A]people keep on movin',
and that's what tortures [D]me[E]
If they free me from this prison
and that rail track was mine
And I'm movin' over
a little farther down the line
[A]Bobbin' poles and prison,
that's where I want to [E]stay[B][E]
And I [B]let that lonesome whistle
blow my blues [E]away
